(TAN): Marriott International has announced an agreement with FreedomPay, an innovative leader in commerce technologies, to adopt its commerce platform to be used across Marriott’s lodging portfolio beginning in the United States and Canada and expanding into other global regions.
The agreement couples a technology powerhouse that is recognised as the technology engine for many of the world’s leading brands across diverse industries with the leading hospitality company that manages and franchises more than 7,000 properties in 132 countries and territories.
“FreedomPay’s global reach is unique in the world of commerce and provides leading enterprises with a highly available and scalable single, unified platform across all continents versus managing a patchwork of disparate providers,” said FreedomPay CEO and Founder, Tom Durovsik.
The FreedomPay Commerce Platform supports merchants and enterprises worldwide merging security, identity, payments, loyalty, and advertising with proprietary data driven solutions. Its fully integrated, patented technology offers unparalleled flexibility and optionality for enterprises operating across borders, across industries and across point of sale and merchant service providers. As corporations begin to consolidate commerce delivery across the globe, a single, unified platform is required to deliver a true omni-channel solution.
